MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Information

In the late fall of 2009, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) will open six regionally based District and School Assistance Centers (DSACs) to help identified districts and their schools strategically access and use professional development and targeted assistance to improve instruction and raise achievement for all students. The DSACs initially will fulfill the Department's responsibilities outlined in the ESE Framework for Accountability and Assistance by giving first priority for assistance to districts in Corrective Action or districts with schools in Corrective Action or Restructuring.
